If "V" is the relativistic speed and 'C' is the speed of light then according to Einstein the factor V/C must always be:
Correct answer: B. Less than 1
- A. Equal to 1
- B. Less than 1
- C. Greater than 1
- D. Infinity
Explanation
C, the speed of light is the universal speed limit. It is simply impossible for any relativistic or non relativistic speed to even be close to the speed of light so, C>>V. Hence V/C will always be less than one.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
